This is the bit in the movie where those scary ghosty things catch up with the gang- because some of the hobbits decide to sit on the top of a hill and cook dinner- basically lighting the way for the ghosty things.

I got there a month or so ago, I didn’t post about it at the time. It means I have walked 387km. For dinner, in homage to the movie where they are cooking bacon and sausages, I decided to make one of my faves- pigs in a blanket! However… they turned out looking more than a little phallic so I took a photo to send to my friend and then I deleted it off my phone, haha! They tasted great though.

I went and visited my dad in Middle Earth aka New Zealand. I walked his dog and snapped this picture. His dog Jack is just a pup and isn’t built for massive walks (PLUS I WAS ON HOLIDAY AND IN LAZY MODE!) so I only ended up doing a short walk with him.

Our next stop is Rivendell and from all my research, it seems like those elves like leafy vegetables. Gross. Not looking forward to that meal!

It is now a quarter of the way through the challenge and I am WAY behind! Winter is well and truly here and by the time I leave for work in the morning, the sun is only just in the sky. Which means I have been terribly slack in walking my dog. BUT winter usually means that I start taking up running so that I can exercise and not have to be out for as long. Instead of 45 minutes to do 4km of walking, it takes 25 minutes. And running tires Ally out a ton!

I have become really bored with our usual walks. And I’ve only been in this area a few months. I’m trying to find new, fun places to walk.
